i've owned it for the past year and a half and its a really great computer desk. it goes really well with my g4 and the glass top look nice (when i can see it). its a good size desk too, so your cinema display won't feel cramped.
Yes, American universities are different from canadian ones. It sounds to me like Canada follows a more british path. In the states, most university degrees intend to provide a broad based education and then build more specialized skills on top of that. (Whereas the british system is more specialized) Yes, here it would be common for a Comp Sci major to have to take English and Fine Arts their freshman year. The idea is that it exposes you to more ways of thinking and communicating. After all, if you're the shiznitz at COBOL but can't tell people what you're up to, you're considerably less useful.
Also, it gives people a bit more time to decide what they want to study. I think its a good thing, although plenty of people see it as simply immaturity.
Did you look at the "International" section of the System Prefs?
(I'm not sure if you need various langauges installed or not to do this.)
The Input Method tab lists all the installed keyboard layouts. If you select more than one of these layouts, you'll see a little flag in the menu bar. This menu allows you to select your current keyboard layout. if using the mouse isn't your syle, command-space bar will rotate layouts.
and there are other posts explaining how to use the option key to hit those international characters from your standard american layout.
does anyone know of an AAC encoder that can compete with LAME? i think i've been using the -r3mix tag and it works great. i want to move to aac, but not until i can keep the quality.
I don't agree. Its not about restriction of information vs. freedom of information like you're portraying it to be. DRM isn't about protecting personal information - just give me an example of a DRM system for personal use, rather than content provider use. Most DRM systems aim to take away the personal use rights we'd normally have.
I believe that personal privacy is worth fighting for. There should be laws governing the use of personal info. (and there are) Better systems can be built to contain personal info. Systems that would be trusted to a select few who decide who gets what info. This is very different from DRM systems in which a piece of info is available to all but readable by a few.
Instead of your dichotomy of freedom vs. control of information, i propose that its individual power vs. institutional power. I don't think anyone can deny that the governments and corporations gain increasing power at cost to individual rights.
Some 56% of non-Internet users do not think they will ever go online. These people are generally the poorer, older segment of the not-online population, and are more likely to be white, female, retired and living in rural areas.
Obviously this is the target market slashdot needs to cater to in order to meet its own growth requirements.
Your list is accurate if you go according to what apple put in a box and sold. but if you go by what apple made people pay for, it goes more like this...
Apple _has_ made the decision to start using its operating system as a source of revenue, rather than something solely to support their hardware sales. I don't mind it as long as they continue to make updates that i want.

What ever happen to solid state drives?
well, there's compact flash. it has a limited number of write cycles but otherwise you have one gig in the size of a postage stamp
there just hasn't been much demand for solid state drives. most people just use RAM. and RAM based drives are more expensive than RAM.
do we really need to reinforce stereotypes by telling stories about how the mentally ill use microsoft products?
i'm really not sure what to make of your sig
oh come on, we all know that the bison died out because the settlers played too much oregon trail.
finally the inuit space program is getting the attention it deserves
well, was she right?
Dear Grammar Nazi,
In your third paragraph you misspelled "sentence" as "sentance" the second time you used it.
Sincerely,

not bad for $200.
you forgot the newest one - xD. I think its main feature is that its first memory card small enough to fit up your kid's nose.

how can other plants get internet if thy don't have IP laws yet?

yes, but wouldn't the settling of dust make square feet more important than cubic feet?
Are there any numbers on the number of square feet these things clean?
Seems like this would be an important number.
now even my hard drive is on the atkins diet.

Site redesign and content change to follow.
you'd only use one channel anyway. how could one person record two channels of audio at a concert in the crowd? they'd both sound the same
does anyone else think its a bad idea to name a server "flakey"?

Dammit! you're right!
The command-option-w works in the finder. But not in many other apple apps.
Is there a reason for this change? seems silly to me.
As any long time mac user knows, command-option-w closes allthe windows in almost ANY mac app made in the past 12 years.
yet safari does not do this.
